They are able to handle things like, I don't know, getting stabbed/shot. Or maybe a hostage situation. Or a Rape. Or a murder. Seriously, have some type of common sense when dealing with them. Sometimes they are better at handling certain situations. I understand that they sometimes do things that are ffed up (like at JHP during occupy - i was there some) But they are not all 100% bad 100% of the time and sadly, Noisebridge is not qualified to handle a variety of situations (See the ones above). A healthy dose of common sense is required for dealing with the police but saying NO POLICE ever is just asking for trouble, as with any other blanket statement about ANYTHING.

<br></div><div>A better suggestion would be to let them in but let them know that they can and WILL be recorded from the second they come in and then do so. Again, police are not all bad all of the time especially since we are unable to police ourselves. </div>

<div>if people involved in incident need to go in and out have the person let them in and out saying out loud "WE ARE NOT letting any police in" (they will do everything they can to get inside) and they aren't allowed to come in (great to have on film if they do).<br>

I would strongly advise against "donating" any abandoned bikes. You do<br>
not own them; that would be considered theft until the time for<br>
reclaiming them runs out officially, which can be years. (I tried<br>
looking through CA law just now to figure out what period applies, and<br>
it's not clear.)<br>
<br>
Turn them over to the police instead. I think they give you the option<br>
of "I want to have it if it's unclaimed".<br>
<br>
While we're at it: register your bikes with the police, so that your<br>
bike does get turned in, they call you. ;-)<br>
<br>
jof: The bikes did not seem to be locked when he removed them. One<br>
person thought he saw the person unchain a bike (presumably using a<br>
key), but wasn't sure about it.<br>
<br>
Nick: We weren't sure enough that they *weren't* his to physically<br>
stop him from taking them. The only other legal option would have been<br>
to call the police immediately, delay him from taking the bikes, and<br>
have them sort out ownership. My guess is that he'd've been arrested<br>
for drug somethingorother had police been called. We had about 30<br>
seconds to decide what to do.<br>
